The recruiting for this kid down the stretch was one of more odd collection of schools that I have seen. KU, ISU, RI, DePaul, UNLV. It really made me wonder what this kid was looking for. In the end, I'm still not sure he really knows.

Besides ISU and KU, the other schools are schools that his AAU coach has connections with.
you say he lacks any ball skills and is average or below average athlete....?? So, you're telling us we recruited him just because he was long? Great.
You're just bitter. I'll agree, I'm disappointed, but there's no reason to be bitter.
If you were following along, I was simply pointing out that it is ridiculous that every time we lose a recruit we really wanted, the "he got paid" card comes out. I'm in no way comparing these two situations in any other way.
Makes sense, sort of.
If the AAU handler wanted the kid at UNLV, why pull the string with DePaul and RI?
*puts on tinfoil hat* To make it look less like SJ was bribed to go to UNLV maybe? *takes off tinfoil hat*
I read the first few pages of this thread and I was wondering why Spokane was arguing with nobody. It seemed over the top for what I was reading. Then I realized it was probably one of the very few people I have on ignore and it reinforced my decision to ignore them.
I'm bitter about this, so I wish him the worse, but not injury, I just hope he suck and not produce what they think he will provide them with. I hope UNLV continues to suck too, what a cheating sh!t of a program. I'm as mad as f@ck, I just wanna go and take a dump(Sh!t) on their prostitute infested school and walk away. I am very mad and I will not pretend to to wish him or UNLV any success, I am not a nice person and that's just that.
Yeah, I've seen that too. The quote was "Hookers are legal there" or something to that effect.
That is incorrect and I was trying to make the point that when a recruit chooses another school because the other school obviously did something illegal (which is the ONLY reason anyone would choose another school over my dear 'ol alma mater) then we should be exact on what we accuse them of. SINCE UNLV obviously got him "hookers" on his visit to Vegas then it was not only against NCAA rules, but it was against the law UNLESS they drove him at least 1.25 hours away.
I think we are arguing 2 separate points here and I am correct on the legality point. Now, if you want to discuss the true intention of my post....
Maybe I forgot this...
Is it possible that kids don't care how many people are in the stands? Do we maybe overestimate the interest of players to play in front of large crowds? I would think it would be neat, but maybe they don't care?
I hope when he's playing in front of 3,000 people at 8PM (PT) on a Saturday on the Mountain West Network with 200 viewers and he averages 5.4 PPG and reality hits him that he is not going to the NCAA tournament, that he starts to regret his decision.
Shakur.. Karma sucks!!

Kinda like a KU fan said once in front of someone I knew who was actually "in the business". Something to the fact that at least KU doesn't cheat, etc. The source just laughed and said you have no idea, hinting the huge KU boosters & their connection with AAUpeople/Nike/Addidas/recruits handlers etc. Thing is, KU has been so good for years they probably don't even need to do anything, much less like what UNLV does, whatever that is. Feazell camp was given $$$ to decommit from us and go to MissSt. That's not a jilted fan base suspicion either.
Here's the biggest irony from me. Prohm visits mom to convince her he'll be well cared for in Ames and he signs in sin city.
Seems like we are Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Until proven wrong I'm just going to assume we lose out on every drawn out commitment process.

I probably should take your approach. It is an exciting, yet frustrating part of college basketball.
Maybe we should just look at the glass as being half full. We didn't get him, but this is probably the second best scenario - nobody of interest got him, either. It's better than him playing for our competition, and also better than if we had to hear about his greatness at some non-competitor that has games that we'd watch. Now it's almost like he never really existed.
